clever scalpel
you want to give our child an operation
to satisfy Joe Public's discrimination.
you think we are cruel because we refuse
and it will be our fault if she's bullied in school.
I’m delighted you care so much about inclusion,
but I really do have a much better solution...
if you so desperately want to be helpful,
subject her oppressors to your clever scalpel!
there's been no research, but I'm sure soon you’d find
those bastards would soon be more kind.
